Islands of Rest
Take me to serene and peaceful island shores
where zephyr breezes whisper sacred songs
a hidden place where the remnant dwells
apart from the tyranny of the rushing streams.
There is a tangled turbulence in the worldly waters
undercurrents of urgency that lead to nowhere
where many a soul are set asunder and drown
setting self worth on achievements and success.
A peaceful serenity permeates the island sanctuary
Can you hear the church bells beckoning?
See the people on their knees, asking for forgiveness
Come, let us find rest for our weary souls.
